Yet again, another lawyer of opposition figure @kizzabesigye1, @EriasLukwago violently abducted and detained simply for defending his client in Court. In Jan 2025, his other lawyer @kiizaeron was violently removed from the court room, assaulted and imprisoned for the same crime of representing his client. The captor, President Museveni’s son and head of the army, Muhoozi Kainerugaba is already gloating about the torture and humiliation he’s subjecting him too, the same way he did when he abducted opposition Presidential Candidate @HEBobiwine’s aide Eddie Mutwe in May 2025! For how long…?
The illegal abduction of our Chairman Hon. Erias Lukwago is a direct attack on all of us. We will not look away and we will not be silenced!
Join us tomorrow for a briefing about the developments arising from the abduction and steps to be taken against such cowardly act.
Invited are our members, the media and general public. Come stand in solidarity as we address this injustice.

KALANGALA BI-ELECTION UPDATE:
Together with Hon. Irene Nampala, we campaigned in Bwendero Parish, where we received massive support and enthusiasm from the people.
We traversed the villages of Dajje, Buyiri, Bwendero, Kaazi-Malanga, and Bwamba, engaging residents...
The People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) raises a grave human rights alert following the unlawful abduction of our Executive Chairman Counsel Lukwago Erias.
This cowardly assault on our leadership is a blatant violation of constitutional rights and the rule of law. We demand his immediate, unconditional release and hold the state fully accountable for his safety and well-being.
We call upon all citizens and defenders of justice to stand firm against this repression.

That photo of former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has been taken from the same place/room where Eddie Mutwe was photographed while naked days after his arrest! And from that I can confirm that the former Lord Mayor is detained at DIS/CMI in Mbuya!

Uganda in 2026! Museveni's son just released a picture of his captive, Advocate Erias Lukwago. Blind folded! His crime? Attempting to serve him court summons! If he can do this to an outgoing Lord Mayor of Uganda's capital city, former MP, and senior lawyer, imagine what he does to our ordinary supporters who are abducted day in, day out. And yet Museveni still has the audacity to say anything about Idi Amin! The world must not look on. There will be accountability for these crimes against humanity. It's only a matter of time.

Ssalongo Erias Lukwago's remarks earlier today before he was arrested by SCF this morning at his Wakaliga home.
He had intended to serve court summons to Chief of Defence Forces Muhoozi Kainerugaba regarding the continued detention of Dr Kizza Besigye.
UPDATE: The Uganda Law Society (ULS) has issued a 24-hour ultimatum demanding the immediate and unconditional release of acting president of the People's Front for Freedom (PFF), Erias Lukwago. Lukwago, who is part of veteran opposition politician Dr Kizza Besigye’s legal team, was abducted by armed men in military uniform from his Wakaliga residence on Monday morning. ULS acting council secretary Babu Ssali says the society has set up a Rule of Law Committee team to pursue domestic and international legal action if he is not released within 24 hours, including action against the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF). #MonitorUpdates

Just learnt of the violent abduction, this morning, of former Kampala Lord Mayor, Advocate Erias Lukwago as he prepared to serve Court Summons upon Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Lukwago is a lead lawyer in the bogus treason case against Dr. Kizza Besigye, and in a case Besigye filed against Muhoozi for abducting him from Kenya, torturing, and undertaking to kill him from prison.
On Muhoozi's orders, military men have raided and abducted Lukwago from his home in Wakaliga before whisking him away in a drone to an unknown destination. The abduction has been confirmed and closely followed by posts on Twitter from Muhoozi, boasting that he has taken him to the "basement" to torture him just like he did to comrade Eddie Mutwe in April 2025!
I call upon all of us to REJECT and RESIST this brazen impunity. UGANDA WILL BE FREE!
PFF leader @EriasLukwago also lawyer of @kizzabesigye1 has been abducted by military men who jumped in his residence! He has been driven off to an unknown destination! #Admin.
